Special Thanks
Special thanks goes first and foremost to my parents for supporting me, even when they didn't understand what the heck I was doing with my life.
To the many friends over the years who have believed in me, supported me , and helped me in innumerable ways; you have my love and my thanks.
To the Ladies at Paul's Hat Works thanks for all your love, support, and friendship.
To my first herb teacher Linda, thanks for helping me find my feet on the ground and making me weed your garden. To Amy, thanks for your friendship, kidnapping me on the weekends and introducing me to your mom so I could wind up weeding her garden eventually (even if very badly...).
To my main teacher and mentor, Adam Seller my thanks can never be enough. You opened my eyes to what I could be.
To Chuck Garcia for your humor, support and helping me refine my understanding of health care, not to mention all your stories that made me laugh so hard it hurt, I thank you. To the entire Garcia family, thanks for your friendship, food and laughs. Linda Garcia, you're the best!
To Vicki Austin, my spiritual support and official kicker out of complacency, your friendship means more to me than words or silence can ever express.
To Dr. Carole Toebe, for opening my eyes to the microbial world around us, for your compassion, encouragement and reigniting my excitement about Public Health when I was ready to throw in the towel, I'm deeply grateful. For helping me refine my understanding of history, science and sharing your passion for microbiology; your kindness and support has been invaluable.
